- I'm new to the SuperCard/HyperCard world, could any one help me for the
- following question?
-
- In HyperCard/SuperCard, how could an object get its own "Dynamic Number"?
-
- (Though I know how to get the name or long/short IDs, yet dynamic number
- reflects the object's position in its parent list.)
-
- For example, we can reference a card by saying card 3 of ...
- yet how could (the script of) this particular card know that it is the
- third card?
-
- Thanks for any help in advance.
